Tropical Immersion: A Year in Costa Rica and Beyond

Ethan Rogol will read from his book "Tropical Immersion," a wry, personal story which is part travelogue, part cultural primer, part memoir, part romance and a treatise on being present, wherever one is. Rogol has taught Spanish and worked as a Spanish interpreter and translator for 20 years. He has lived intermittently in Costa Rica and Olympia, Washington for 27 years and has immersed himself in Costa Rican culture.
